My child will be finishing kindergarten and am happy to say what a great experience he has had. He now knows how to read and has been taught math and science. The teachers are outstanding and the principal has very strong leadership skills. There are many events at the school and parents are often encouraged to attend.

I too am so thrilled with Yardville Heights and it has the best PTA around.. I do wish Hamilton TWP would clean up their schools a bit more, some classrooms are so cluttered, I can't imagine what would be found if they just cleaned up..paint and freshen the environment up...I am also very please with the wonderful GT program..thanks
